"Suleiman" was an Ottoman brig. Originally called "Venere Armata" while under the Papal States' control, she was captured at the Battle of Otranto Bay in 1702.

History
Venere Armata was one of the few ships that the Italian States built, and was part of the only fleet they possessed, under Macario Gabrieli. She was captured during the Battle of Otranto Bay by the Ottoman Empire in 1702 while trying to flee the battlefield after having previously surrendered, and was renamed in the honor of Suleiman the Magnificent. She was repaired at the docks of Piraeus in Greece, given new cannon and men.
